As anticipated, a barrel-sized thunderbolt tore through the sky, slicing across the fabric of space in an ear-splitting sonic boom! The sky over Enchanted Peak erupted in light, almost as if the heavens were about to collapse."Time to face this!" Diane's voice pierced the tumult as she soared into mid-air. With a deft motion of her bare hands, beams of divine light burst forth from her fingers and manifested as massive fingerprints that collided fiercely with the thunder.A deafening explosion soon ensued and the thunderbolts were dispelled in an instant. However, the sky remained turbulent, with clouds roiling violently and lightning writhing like dragons.Diane's breakthrough seemed to have triggered a chain reaction, as the other girls also made their breakthrough to true immortality!Strands of true immortal aura hovered over Enchanted Peak, causing the sky to darken and the clouds to churn. Thunder crackled wildly, and dark clouds stretched for miles on out as the world seeme
The gathering held a special significance for everyone, ostensibly as a way for them to celebrate that Severin's wives had achieved immortality or simply because they were happy to be in the Celestial Realm. Either way, they enjoyed themselves until late.A few days later, the sun peeked above the horizon and bathed the early morning hours in dappled rays of golden sunlight. Severin emerged from his chamber with a rejuvenated expression as he soaked in the warm sun and stretched his waist.He glanced at his soundly-sleeping wives and smiled. "It'll soon be my time to have my seclusion," he said before swiftly making his way to the training room.After a few days of enjoyment, he resolved to devote himself to seclusion and prepared to embark on his journey toward becoming a quasi-royal celestial.Seated cross-legged in the training room, Severin placed two Saturna Peaches in front of him before taking the Eighturn Golden Pill that Amin from Heaven Palace came to deliver earlier. Wit
The river of time trembled violently, creating a massive wave atop its surface. As a result, invisible ripples instantaneously traversed the entire Celestial Realm. At that moment, golden lotuses blossomed across the skies, and distant purple mist painted a mesmerizing scene. The aura of a quasi-royal celestial enveloped a wide area that spanned hundreds of millions of miles. Almost half of the practitioners in the Celestial Realm felt heaven and earth resonate with what was happening."Is the world rejoicing? Has someone ascended to quasi-royal celestial status?""A quasi-royal celestial's strength is second only to royal celestials.""I wonder who is fortunate enough to have transcended the constraints of a true immortal."Practitioners across the realms erupted in excitement upon receiving the celestial news.At the same time, deep within Lawrence's chamber in Heaven Palace, a middle-aged man radiating majestic divine light seemed to sense the sudden shift. His eyes snapped ope
"Who would've guessed that this individual would harbor so much potential? Could this be the Green Emperor's design or is it someone else's?" Callide frowned slightly and attempted to employ her vision technique to penetrate the fog veiling Severin. However, she found nothing.She gazed pensively at the river of time for some time and turned around with a serene countenance. Though she had no idea how Severin had swiftly ascended to quasi-royal celestial status, his achievement naturally brought her much joy, especially since she had been favored and chosen by him. With the Devil Realm looming ever closer, its collision with the Celestial Realm was estimated to occur in another couple of months. When that happened, it would transform it into the ancient Bleu Celestial Realm of yore. The momentous change carried both promise and peril.On another note, it also provided an opportunity for the royal celestials to seize the chance to make a breakthrough to quasi-celestial regent status
Severin's expression remained unchanged despite the looks of awe and surprise from those around him. He glanced at the Longevity Alliance's members before him and asked, "Have there been any significant developments in the Celestial Realm recently?"Two full years had passed since he entered seclusion, and he could vaguely sense that the malevolent energy was drawing nearer with each passing day in the chaotic sea outside the barrier membrane of the Celestial Realm. It seemed as though it was on the brink of a collision course with the Celestial Realm. The impending clash mirrored the historic collision between the Bleurealm and the Celestial Realm.It was an unprecedented opportunity and also a profound crisis. One misstep could plunge the realms into catastrophe."The Longevity Alliance has made rapid strides in the past two years. We have now emerged as a prominent force in the Celestial Realm," proclaimed Amethyst, the sect leader who once oversaw the Grandiuno Sacred Land. "Maj
Among those promoted on that occasion were two from the barbarics—a sign that there would be the potential emergence of two more true immortals!Severin chuckled and gently gestured for Jaxon to rise after a prolonged salutary bow. "Don't worry," he assured, "those who succeed in becoming half-immortals would receive generous rewards from the alliance."He had been bestowed a spiritual root, after all, and an example was the Saturna Peach. They were treasures coveted by true immortals, quasi-royal celestials, and even royal celestials. However, Severin utilized the peaches to craft pills, as a single peach could yield a very cost-effective amount of nine pills.That being said, such a method was considered to be his final recourse. The Longevity Alliance's foundation lacked the depth that the Heaven Palace and Clear Wind Sect had, as those factions commanded royal celestials. It also paled in comparison to the ancient aristocratic families whose legacy had spanned epochs and had thu
Lawrence's gaze fell upon Balke, whose countenance was shrouded in gloom and silence. As the lord of Heaven Palace and the paramount figure among the royal celestials, he couldn't shake off the sense of powerlessness wrought by what was happening.Lawrence's status as a royal celestial offered little solace when confronting the extraterrestrials entrenched in the Devil Realm. Memories soon flooded back to him—about two million years prior, a dark upheaval had claimed the lives of tens of thousands of true immortals in heaven. The Bleu Celestial Realm was stained with the blood of millions. At that time, he had just become a royal celestial, and the strength he had buoyed his confidence. He had gone to settle scores with those extraterrestrials, yet the tables were turned and he was besieged by them. Only Emperor Armin's intervention had spared him from perishing in that bygone cataclysm.As the realm convergence loomed nearer, those extraterrestrials from the Devil Realm grew increas
Following the edict that soared across the Nine Heavens toward the ten domain masters in the Celestial Realm, none dared refuse or disobey the summons. Their orders became the talk of the entire Celestial Realm.Meanwhile, in Midland, Severin lounged upon a rocking chair in the courtyard of Enchanted Peak while leisurely soaking in the sun's rays. Beside him, his four regally-dressed wives engaged in lively conversation, exchanging their thoughts and aspirations in attainment with bright eyes and radiant smiles. Meanwhile, Hardin and Selene had sibling bonding time.The peaceful environment was soon disrupted by a streak of light that descended from the heavens. A sigil exuding authority had been delivered unto Severin's hands. In an instant, information flooded Severin's mind and elicited a drastic change in his expression. "A summoning order from the royal celestials?"Having spent two years within the Celestial Realm, Severin had become well-acquainted with many of its facets, an
At that instant, Infernatur and Damnatur felt a sudden chill, as if an impending doom loomed on the horizon.Severin then said softly to them, "I'm gonna need you as a helping hand!"Infernatur and Damnatur recoiled as a horrifying realization dawned upon them."Have you taken that leap?" Infernatur's voice trembled with uncertainty.Severin remained silent and simply waved his hand gently. The 129,600 cosmic laws surged with boundless power, reducing the huge figures of Infernatur and Damnatur to dust.Within moments, two essences of pure primordial power flowed into Severin's inner world, while the desolate chaos sea crumbled and was consumed by his voracious appetite.Severin's form eventually began to fade until it became a flicker of light that vanished completely. His consciousness had been devoured entirely.Everything before him was empty and devoid of substance.An indefinite amount of time passed before Severin's voice echoed through the emptiness, "Chaos springs from
With a deft stroke of the bronze halberd, the path hovering above Severin shattered."This is a peculiar weapon," Severin recoiled in alarm, raising the Oculus Blade to defend himself "It has the ability to dismantle the great path!"Simultaneously, he utilized his space-time path to shield against potential assaults, especially any sneak attacks.Explosions reverberated, unleashing torrents of elemental energy and spatial turbulence throughout the chaotic sea. Time passed indeterminately amidst the chaos.For centuries, the trio engaged in combat, their auras undiminished by time's passage.Meanwhile, the four Dominus Nosters in the Celestial Realm waged war against the extraterrestrial intruders, reclaiming territories with unparalleled ferocity.Under the leadership of figures like Callide, the extraterrestrials were simply no match for them.The Southern, Western, and Devil Regions were reclaimed quickly, yet everyone from the Celestial Realm remained vigilant, for war conti
Outside the Heaven Palace, the few who had been appointed Dominus Noster along with a cohort of quasi-royal celestials were faced with the grim reality at hand.Clad in resplendent hues, Callide—who was their leader and carried the title Dominus Noster Arcanum—donned celestial attire woven from stars and the galaxy. With a regal bearing, she commanded from atop a cloud, "Follow me, my brethren! We shall vanquish the extraterrestrials in the Devil Realm!""At your command, Dominus Noster Arcanum!""Yes, Dominus Noster Arcanum!"With their resounding battle cries, streams of light surged across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, converging upon the territories occupied by the extraterrestrials—they were the Devil Region, Southern Region, and the Western Region.Amidst the vibrant rainbow, a towering figure emerged, blotting out the sky and earth. Everyone recognized that figure as Severin, and knew that the battle against the quasi-celestial regents would soon begin.Adrian, who was alrea
Armin then spoke with a calm authority, "You cannot remain in this time and space, for you are from the future. It is time you return."As he uttered these words, Severin sensed an invisible force pushing against him and urging him to depart.Standing upon the river of time, he overlooked the tumult of the quasi-celestial regent conflict looming below. He mumbled Armin's counsel, "By receiving nourishment, shattering constraints, tearing open chaos, and reaching the other side…" As Severin pondered over those revelations for an indefinite amount of time, clarity dawned upon him like the sudden rising sun. "So that's the way!"By the time he snapped to his senses, he discovered that his primal spirit had traversed countless epochs in the river of time. "Did I spend that long in the river of time?" he asked himself. Fortunately, the duration he spent in the river of time was but a fleeting moment in the real world.Severin's resolve solidified. Though his brief discourse with Armin,
Severin could sense the mental connection between himself and the weapon, almost as if it was an extension of himself. Severin then raised his gaze to the celestial expanse beyond."I'm almost on Armin's level now that I've made a breakthrough to the rank of quasi-celestial sovereign. However, facing the extraterrestrials' quasi-celestial regents isn't going to be easy meat for me," he mused aloud.Armin was once the sovereign architect of the Imperial Court and the ruler of the Celestial Realm, yet even he found himself at the mercy of the attack of Heaven's Will. Even a mighty quasi-celestial sovereign was reduced to naught but dust.Severin felt the weight of the responsibility settle upon him. Confronting the two quasi-celestial regents would require him to transcend to the realm of celestial sovereign—a realm of which he had scant knowledge of.He understood the concept of the celestial sovereign only in the context of attaining liberation through enlightenment via the 3,000 p
In the vast expanse of the chaotic sea, occasional gusts of strong wind whipped up the formidable chaotic energy. A single whirlpool could claim the life of even a true immortal.Amidst that tumult, two colossal figures lay prone within the abyss. They emanated an aura of unparalleled power, commanding even the paths to heed their authority. The turbid breath exhaled in their slumber had the capacity to tear the fabric of the chaotic void, unveiling dreamlike cosmic chiliocosms.They were the progenitors of the extraterrestrial race, the alpha and omega of the enigmatic beings. Their names were Infernatur and Damnatur. To the uninitiated, and sometimes even to their own kind, it was widely believed that Infernatur and Damnatur were distinct entities. However, they were but facets of the same being.Infernatur could be deemed the primordial offspring of chaos itself, having borne witness to the most primitive and barbaric epochs of the Bleu Celestial Realm. Being born of chaos, he po
Heaven Palace could now boast four royal celestials, along with nearly 20 quasi-royal celestials and 5,000 true immortals. Those esteemed individuals once served the Longevity Alliance, Clear Wind Sect, Tri Celestial Island, and Ingeni Paradise. While their numbers paled in comparison to the 120,000 true immortals during the ancient Imperial Court's heyday, Severin was confident that he could revive that with time. After all, the new Imperial Court had only just been re-established, and there was still more work to do.Severin then addressed the assembly, "As you continue raising your attainment, you shall have to anticipate the looming threat of conflict with the extraterrestrials. Now that you have are bestowed with titles as the custodians of heaven and earth, it is our solemn duty to reciprocate the blessings bestowed upon us.""Yes, we shall!" echoed the resolute affirmation from the gathered immortals.Having concluded his address, Severin went to speak briefly with Diane and
In the Heaven Palace, Callide sensed that the aura emanating from Severin was simultaneously as vast the sky and ocean but as indiscernible as that of a mortal. Tremors of terror gripped her, as she knew that he had far surpassed the realm of a cultivator who had attained the perfect-stage royal celestial. It was no exaggeration to say that Severin could obliterate a royal celestial with a mere thought.Balke, Libra, and Creatia shared Callide's apprehension. To them, Severin embodied the very essence of the path—intangible, silent, abstruse, incomprehensible, and undetectable.As the imperial robe adorned Severin, Balke and the others bowed in reverence. "Long live the Celestial Sovereign!" they chanted in unison.A subtle wave of fortune floated toward the heavenly heart imprint as Severin acknowledged their worship with a satisfied smile. He raised his hand and lifted them effortlessly with an unseen force.With a thunderous voice that resonated in their ears, Severin proclaimed
The true immortals, quasi-royal celestials, and even the eminent royal celestials held their breath. Everyone observed in silence as Severin wielded the heavenly heart imprint.With each strand of luck infused into the heavenly heart imprint, Severin sensed his dominion over the Bleu Celestial Realm becoming stronger. He had the feeling that he could reshape the world with only a single thought.Once the destinies of tens of thousands of races were bound with the heavenly heart imprint, the golden tourmaline quivered violently and radiated an aura that could be felt across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands. Acknowledging the momentous occasion, Severin tapped his forehead and directed a fragment of his soul to command the heavenly heart imprint. The 3,000 great paths within him erupted from his being and materialized."Today shall be the day that I, Severin, rebuild the Imperial Court in the Nine Heavens! As wielder of the great path, the world shall be inscribed in me, and I shall embody
